when I call TeX-documentation-texdoc (through C-c ?) it launches
Mendely!!! I just want it to open the documentation using pdf-tools;
how?

thanks so much

Hi Waleed,

What happens if you run

    $ texdoc package-name

(replace "package-name" with the actual name of the package) on a
terminal?  AUCTeX delegates the whole task to open the documentation
files (that may be of different types) to texdoc.  You should set
texdoc up to make it open PDF files with pdf-tools.

Bye,
Mosè

It opens it using Mendely as well; but how can I make it opens it using
pdf-tools or even the browser?

Ok, then AUCTeX is doing nothing wrong and I'm going to close this bug
report.  Probably you have something misconfigured  on your system
since texdoc usually selects for each file type the system default
viewer.

Run

    $ texdoc texdoc

in a terminal (or "texdoc -l texdoc" to get the list of manuals and
then open the "texdoc.pdf" file with your preferred viewer) and read
the "Viewers" section.  But you may want to fix your system
configuration first.

Bye,
Mosè
